"Democrats will always fail at messaging in a complex legislative environment because they never speak with one voice & always answer questions about the complexities instead of repeating a message which is why they never figure out what their message should be."
This is exactly what I've thought over and over again just never found the right "messaging" to convey it. LOL. I would also probably state it a little more positively than O'Donnell did but I get his point.
This is why I don't necessarily knock Democrats for messaging issues. Governing is complex and there are so many scenarios we probably can't even imagine.
It does need to get boiled down though... especially in a soundbite/twitter world.
It seems we need a think tank messaging forum, unless there is one here that I'm unaware of.
